The Bayonne Police Department has completed the installation of a “Project Medicine Drop Box” to assist residents in the disposal of dispose of unused, expired, or unwanted prescription pills and tablets medication. Project Medicine Drop Box is an important component of the Bayonne Police Department’s effort to stop the diversion and abuse of prescription drugs, including highly addictive opiate painkillers. Bayonne residents can take an active role in the fight against the nationwide epidemic of opiate and heroin abuse, which is often fueled by the abuse of prescription painkillers.
